Best Polarized Optics

I agree! Younger's Nupolar is the best and I have seen some out of phase Maui Jims

I've brought up the question in the past about tilting a polar lens, the polar angle may go out of phase. Still haven't really dug my heals in but if the change is consistent then it could mean layout compensation for polar filters.

I am curious if the off polarization was on the Image; all the others can be off as it it is up to the lab to ensure they are layout properly. I had one 3 years ago in a Kodak Unique that was 30 off on one eye and it took us awhile to figure it out. The patient kept saying it was not right and when we look at the polarized grid noticed the colors were not the same eye for eye. We at that point never thought a progressive could be off that much and we realized it was free form so it was new to the lab as well.

We now check every polarized job with axis alignment guage and still see some come in from various sources off, but it has gotten much better over the past few years. The gauge also lets you see the difference between a good polarization and a GREAT polarization film/material.
